Omerta Movie Review : Bollywood HungamaTerrorism is arguably the biggest threat to humanity and every major country is at their wits end on how to eradicate it completely. It's no surprise that in Bollywood as well in Hollywood, plenty of films have been made that talk about terror attacks and other related aspects. Talking specifically about Bollywood, some very interesting flicks have tackled terrorism like Dil Se [1998], Black Friday [2007], New York [2009], A Wednesday [2008], The Attacks Of 26/11 [2013], Fanaa [2006], Fiza [2000], Phantom [2015] etc to name a few. Hansal Mehta now brings up Omerta and this film promises to stand out from the rest as it talks about one of the most dangerous terrorists of the world. So does Omerta manage to shock and awe? Or does it fail in its endeavour? Let's analyze.
Omerta is the story of Omar Saeed Sheikh and how he emerged as one of the forces to reckon with. Omar Saeed Sheikh (Rajkummar Rao) is British-born who gets affected with the way Muslims got butchered in the Bosnian war in 1994. At first, he joins the local protest with like-minded individuals. It's at this point that he's offered a chance to go one level up in this field and he agrees. After an intense training session, he arrives in Delhi and assumes the identity of Rohit Verma. He befriends a foreigner named Rhys Patridge and his friends and then kidnaps them to send a message to the world that the Whites are not safe.
